.LP
FMRI stands for Fault Management Resource Identifier. It is used to identify
resources managed by the Fault Manager. See \fBfmd\fR(8) and \fBsmf\fR(7).

.LP
The \fBin.timed\fR service provides the server-side of the time protocol. The
time server sends to requestors the time in seconds since midnight, January 1,
1900. The time protocol is available on both TCP and UDP transports through
port 37.
.sp
.LP
The in.timed service is an \fBinetd\fR(8) \fBsmf\fR(7) delegated service. The
\fBin.timed\fR detects which transport is requested by examining the socket it
is passed by the \fBinetd\fR daemon.

Once a connection is established, the \fBin.timed\fR sends the time as a 32-bit
binary number and closes the connection. Any received data is ignored.

.RS 21n
The \fBin.timed\fR listens for UDP datagrams. When a datagram is received, the
server generates a UDP datagram containing the time as a 32-bit binary number
and sends it to the client. Any received data is ignored.
